Abstract
The Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA), at its fourteenth session, took note of the progress report on the review of the scientific and methodological aspects of the proposal by Brazil contained in document FCCC/SBSTA/2001/INF.2, including the conclusions of an expert meeting on the scientific and methodological aspects of the proposal, held in Bonn from 28 to 30 May 2001. It encouraged Parties to pursue and support the research effort on the scientific and methodological aspects of the proposal by Brazil, as recommended in document FCCC/SBSTA/2001/INF.2, and to communicate such activities to the secretariat. The SBSTA requested the secretariat to continue to coordinate the review of this proposal, to facilitate the dissemination of scientific and methodological information on this proposal, to organize an expert meeting to share information on the development of the scientific and methodological aspects of the proposal by Brazil, to broaden participation and to build scientific understanding of this subject before its seventeenth session, and to prepare a report for that session. To this end, the SBSTA requested all Parties, especially those not included in Annex I to the Convention, to nominate additional experts to the UNFCCC roster of experts. The SBSTA decided to consider this matter further at its seventeenth session (FCCC/SBSTA/2001/2, para. 32). This document contains information about the process used by the secretariat to respond to the mandate mentioned before and preliminary analysis undertaken by experts to explore the scientific and methodological aspects of the proposal by Brazil. It describes the results of an expert meeting held at Bracknell, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, from 25 to 27 September 2002, including a proposal for future work. Additional background information can be found in document FCCC/SBSTA/2001/INF.2. This report contains preliminary results from simple climate models. The results have not been peer reviewed. They are presented for illustrative purposes to help the reader to understand the concepts presented in this paper. No definitive conclusions should be drawn, since models vary in their complexity and the data sets are limited
